THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Special award for fire hero

“

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

In a moment when many would be overcome with panic, Methven preschooler Eli McLauchlan proved an unlikely hero, saving four others and an entire home from devastation.

The four-year-old was yesterday awarded a certificate of appreciation by Methven firefighters and fire risk management officer Murray Cairns, after raising the alarm when he spotted a fire outside the toilet window of the Jackson Street Educarents home childcare on Friday June 6.

The fire went on to destroy the toilet, bathroom and laundry in the back of the weatherboard house before spreading into the roof cavity above the kitchen. It is believed to have started when embers, removed from a fire two days before, reignited setting fire to car seats and firewood in a lean-to shed backing on to the house.

“He warned the teachers of the flames and smoke before the fire alarms went off. It’s what we teach in schools and preschools all the time, and it’s not until something like this happens that you know they have taken notice, he did everything right,” Mr Cairns said.

With two other young children also in the house, the two childcare teachers marshalled everyone to safety before calling 111.

Methven deputy fire chief Gary Blackwell said that without the quick-thinking of the teachers to close all the doors and

It’s not until something like this that you know they have taken notice, he did everything right

call emergency services when they did, “the place would have been totalled”.

Ask Eli about the incident and the “big flames” are vivid in his mind.

It has hit home for the bubbly youngster.

“He’s aware of fire all over the place now, we go past a paddock and he points them out but I have to tell him those are safe ones.

“Since then he has been a bit afraid to go to bed in case there is a fire but he is starting to settle now,” his mother Emily O’Connell said.

She said he learned firewise drills on a playgroup visit to the fire station last year, and she was “extremely proud” to see him put it into practice.

“I heard some other mothers talking about it since the fire and that’s when I grasped how serious it was and how well he did.”

Styles heads home to recuperate

Pop star Harry Styles was desperate to return to his family home during a break in One Direction’s world tour after struggling with ill health for several weeks. The band took to the stage at London’s 02 Arena last Sunday and enjoyed a five-day gap between their next show in Stockholm, Sweden. Styles admitted he couldn’t wait for some home comforts after being struck down with a nasty bug throughout the band’s recent shows. “I’ve had to stop drinking altogether because I’ve been sick,” he tells Britain’s The Sun on Sunday. “Every time I nearly kick my illness it comes back again. It’s still been amazing coming home, even though I’ve been sick. Mum came to the show then we went straight home.”

NZ’s top 10% are richer than rest The richest 10 per cent of New Zealanders are wealthier than the rest of the population combined, according to figures cited

by Oxfam NZ. The charity says the numbers illustrate a stark wealth gap in New Zealand and wants multinational corporate tax avoidance addressed. However, the Government says its own analysis shows inequality has not worsened in the past decade and the system already redistributes a significant amount of income. Rachael Le Mesurier, Oxfam NZ’s executive director, disagreed, and said we have “an elite who are seeing their bank balances go up, while hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders struggle to make ends meet”.

Hundreds of backers paid $US50 a ticket for the potential show, helping Goldin and friends hit their target and the drive has prompted Dave Grohl and his bandmates to agree to staging a comeback in the city.

Digital experts have simulated the wall of sound that pipers faced when they went over the top of the trenches in World War One. Historian Michael Stedman worked with the Digital Design Studio at the Glasgow School of Art to recreate the sounds of battle for the BBC Scotland documentary Pipers Of The Trenches. Amid the sounds of weaponry such as exploding shells and bullets hitting metal, the strains of the pipers’ tunes can be heard, along with noises including tramping boots and men shivering. The “remarkable” results were played to descendants of pipers who played their comrades into battles such as Vimy Ridge and the Somme. Neil McDonald, creative director of documentaries at BBC Scotland, said: “The story of the pipers who strode unarmed into battle is fascinating and inspiring – and one we wanted to tell in the fullest way possible.”

■ ASHBURTON REAL ESTATE

Market shows no sign of slowing

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NA

House prices in the Ashburton District have risen by 7.5 per cent over the past year to hit a May high of $320,961.

Quotable Value (QV) New Zealand figures show the average price in May 2013 was

$298,925 and the 7.5 per cent rise means the district’s house prices are among the fastest growing in the South Island.

Christchurch’s north west tops the south’s annual increase at 11. 2 per cent, with the Ashburton District sitting along side Selwyn, Hurunui and Waimakariri as the South

Island’s other real estate hot spots. Real Estate New Zealand measures property values in median prices rather than average prices, and it also shows significant annual growth from May 2013 – 9.1 per cent.

May, however, was a low month for property prices, with the median running out at

$298,000, down 3.1 per cent on an April high of $310,000.

The district led the way in Canterbury in terms of an increase in sales volumes both over April and May last year.

The number of houses sold rose from 39 in April to 61 last month, a 56 per cent increase and from 48 in May last year,

an increase of 27 per cent.

While sales volumes have increased significantly in the district over the past year, across Canterbury – Westland volumes dropped by 12.7 per cent.

Canterbury and Westland topped the country for the shortest time it took to sell a home, an average of 34 days.

■ TRUSTPOWER COMMUNITY AWARDS

Mania-o-Roto Scout Zone supreme award winner

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hours of hard work raising funds for the community has earned the Mania-o-Roto Scout Zone the supreme award in this year’s Trustpower Ashburton Community awards.

Zone members raised $1.2 million dollars to build a new hall at the Mania-o-Roto grounds and this is now open for use by both the scouting and non-scouting community.

The hall is used regularly by the more than 300 youngsters who are part of the Ashburton District’s scouting community and it is envisaged the facility will support and encourage the growth of scouting in the district.

Funds raised were boosted by donations of time and money from many local businesses and individuals around the district.

At last night’s awards, a clearly overcome scout leader Lori Rustbatch was on hand to collect an armload of trophies and a $1500 cheque.

Stacey Hopwood, Youth Community Spirit award.

Her group also earned the right to represent the Ashburton District at next year’s national Trustpower community awards finals in Wellington.

To win the supreme award from such a large group of very worthy nominees was very humbling, Mrs Rusbatch said.

“It is this community that has helped put this building up at

Mania-o-Roto.

“Today we own that building and we don’t owe a cent to anybody and that is because of the community that has supported us.”

Every donation made, no matter how small or how large, had played an important part in ensuring such a great community facility could be built, she said.

“There are so many people who have given time and effort.

I’m just the spokesperson for so many who have done so much.”

A number of other awards were also made, including the Spirit of Youth Award.

This was won by Ashburton College student Stacey Hopwood.

She received $500 and an additional $250 to donate to a charity of her choice.

She nominated the Ashburton branch of the Cancer Society as her recipient.

■■BUTCHER OF THE YEAR COMPETITION

Timmy’s a cut above the rest

By Sue Newman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton butcher Timmy Watson is one step closer to earning himself a free trip to Europe.

On Sunday he cut and carved his way to success in the upper South Island regional finals of New Zealand’s butcher of the year competition, tying for the winner’s title in the young butcher category.

He’s no newcomer to competitions, having won the regional title twice, the last time in 2012.

But that doesn’t make the competition any easier, it just means you understand the need for focus, speed and accuracy, he said.

He might be among the country’s best at what he does, but Mr Watson is something of an accidental butcher.

Post-secondary school he headed to university and fell into an apprenticeship through a part-time job. He’s never regretted one moment of his career change.

“I’ve always loved food, good food and I enjoy cooking, particularly meat. I’m a red meat man and I love my bacon,” he said.

Mr Watson has been on the staff at Allenton Meats since

While he knows the practical section will include a beef

rump, a chicken, a pork loin and a mystery meat, the difference between the country’s best will come down to the fine detail in the cuts each butcher creates.

“Some of the things I do will be the things I do every day but

there’s always a lot of prep before an event such as this.”

He might have previous competition experience under his belt, but Mr Watson is not taking the finals lightly.

“Paddy’s told me if I don’t

A trip to Europe might be the ultimate prize, but Mr Watson says the prestige of holding the title of butcher of the year is his number one focus.

■■METHVEN FIRE

House owner reflects on lucky escape from blaze

By Myles Hume

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

The what-ifs still play on the mind of Dianne Griffiths 11 days since the fire that engulfed the back of her Jackson Street home.

She is reluctant to mention the worse case scenario as she reflects on the blaze which started behind her Methven home.

It was first spotted by preschooler Eli McLauchlan who attends her Educarents in-home childcare service.

The four-year-old called out to Ms Griffiths while he was in the toilet after seeing flames and smoke billow from outside.

That prompted a quick response to get everyone outside before emergency services arrived.

“Eli was in the toilet close to the fire so it could have been a very close call for him, I would have put one of the children, a two-year-old, down for a sleep at that time,” she said.

“If he didn’t raise the alarm when he did, we couldn’t have gone out the back doors, the only doors out, we would have had to climb through the front

windows which would have been difficult with young children.”

The kitchen, laundry and bathroom are nothing more than charred remains while the rest of the home is extensively smoke damaged.

Ms Griffiths, her partner, son and international student have relocated to the Mount Hutt College school house, while the community has rallied together to supply her with appliances and furniture.

She has been overwhelmed by the support, but could not be more grateful to Eli who ensured they got out in time.

“I’m really proud of him, he knew to raise the alarm and go to the letterbox as we do in monthly fire and earthquake drills, and often the fire alarm goes off here and when we hear that it gives us a chance to reinstate what to do.”

Ashburton fire risk management officer Murray Cairns said it was important homeowners realised that ashes could remain hot for up to five days after the fire was out.

They should put ashes in a

An Ashburton police officer mans a detour point on Maronan Road after a serious truck versus car crash yesterday.

Three people were transported to Christchurch Hospital, two via the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, after the crash about 1.45pm yesterday.

Constable Peter van den Dorpe at the Ashburton police station yesterday said investigations were ongoing into the

cause of the crash, however it appeared the truck was pulling out of Winslow Road when it hit the car, travelling in a direction away from Ashburton.

The three occupants were injured, while the two occupants of the truck were uninjured.

“The cause of the accident is still part of an ongoing investigation,” Mr van den Dorpe said.

Cancer Society wins award Ashburton volunteers have played a part in helping the Cancer Society to win a national Health Volunteers Award.

Across Canterbury and the West Coast, 400 volunteers have been named as part of the overall winners of the 2014 Minister of Health Volunteer Awards. The awards celebrate the volunteers whose commitment, dedication and hard work improves the quality of lives of New Zealanders.

The Cancer Society’s Rural Groups stood out for the impact they have made on the lives of hundreds of New Zealanders in South Island rural communities, said Health Minister Tony Ryall.

The Canterbury West Coast Division comprises 19 rural support groups, involving more than 400 volunteers.

This dedicated group of people ferry rural cancer patients to appointments, deliver meals and baking, provide companionship and help raise awareness of a disease that affects one in three.

Their work is greatly valued by cancer patients and their families, Elizabeth Chesterman, chief executive of the Canterbury West Coast division said.

“We are absolutely delighted to accept this award in recognition of the outstanding work of our volunteers. These dedicated caring people make such a huge difference in the lives of people with cancer,” she said.

The team is also the winner of the Community or NGO Health Service Team Award.

■■COMPOSTING WORKSHOP

In brief

Compost – waste’s answer

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

There are more living creatures in a handful of compost than there are people on earth, said Sheryl Stivens (left) of Mastagard yesterday.

Mrs Stivens was undertaking a home composting demonstration, attended by seven members of the public, including Dawn Giles (pictured) of Ashburton.

The demonstration was held at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park.

Mrs Stivens said she held the demonstrations each month, and they were attended by those who no longer wanted to waste their food scraps.

“In the winter it’s a bit more challenging for them because they don’t want to traipse outside to compost bins,” she said.

There were, however, clean options for composting indoors as well, she said.

Lucky Lotto double It was a case of double your money for a Wanganui man who bought two Lotto tickets on Saturday – and both were winners.

Now he will be spending his windfall to get a newer motorhome. Aramoho Mags and Lotto owner Garry McElwain said staff at his store were “over the moon” that they’d sold two of the 16 Second Division winning tickets.

All up the customer won $32,128, Mr McElwain said. “It’s amazing.

It doesn’t happen very often – in fact, it doesn’t happen often enough, so we’re thrilled,” he said.

The winner was one of the shop’s regular customers. “He’s having a good day,” Mr McElwain said.

The tackle which felled a streaker at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night was “totally unnecessary”, legal expert Prof Mark Henaghan says.

The University of Otago dean of law told the Otago Daily Times yesterday he believed there was “no need” for security guard and New Zealand under-20 rugby team triallist Brad Hemopo to tackle 28-year-old streaker Adam Holtslag, of Christchurch.

“He hit him from behind which is dangerous,” he said. “That’s when you can get hurt.”

“You can use reasonable force to defend yourself or to defend others but in this case I think it was totally unnecessary.”

Mr Hemopo’s tackle on Mr Holtslag, during the 62nd minute of the All Blacks-England test match on Saturday, has since hit headlines internationally and divided public opinion.

Prof Henaghan said the suggestion a security guard could behave with more force than a non-uniformed person was wrong and the fact the incident occurred on a rugby field did not change the situation.

“It’s not exempt just because you’re on a rugby paddock,” he said.

He did not believe the players were at risk and Mr Holtslag appeared to have his hands up and was walking from the field, he said.

Mr Holtslag’s intoxication and nudity were also irrelevant, he said.

“The law protects you whether you are behaving like an idiot or not,” he said.

The idea Mr Holtslag deserved on-field punishment for streaking was also wrong as “that’s the court’s job”.

Anyone could lay a complaint to police but they had “total discretion” as to whether to prosecute, he said.

Dunedin Venues Management Ltd chief executive Terry Davies said he was comfortable with the force used to remove Mr Holtslag from the field.

Banks was found guilty of knowingly filing a false return over donations from Kim Dotcom that were declared anonymous.

Yesterday, Mr McCready laid fresh charging documents at the Auckland District Court relating to the Banks’ electoral return. Detective Inspector Mark Benefield, who led the police investigation into Banks, is accused of conspiring with the former MP and others.

■ MT HUTT SKIFIELD

‘Best opening for 10 years’

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Over 3000 visitors hit the slopes of Mt Hutt over the weekend, but not all in the right way.

There were two Westpac Rescue Helicopter airlifts – one on the day the ski area opened on Friday, for a 63-year-old man with a suspected spine injury, and another on Saturday, for a 24-year-old man with a suspected spine injury.

Manager James McKenzie said the two airlifts had been more so precautionary, as were 95 per cent of the airlifts per season, and neither had ended up being serious.

The safest way to transport someone with a suspected spinal injury was by helicopter, and they needed to be at Christchurch so cat scans could be undertaken, with no such

equipment available in the ski area’s medical room.

“For us it’s the safest way to be sure they get the best possible care,” Mr McKenzie said yesterday.

The ski area’s accident rate was lower than the national average of 3.5 injuries per 1000 skiers.

“We are improving on that every year as well. We keep looking at our accident statistics to see what more we can do,” he said.

Improvements for 2014 included earthworks creating wider areas around accident black spots, and establishing alternative trails so faster and slower skiers cold travel separately.

The snow conditions had been fantastic for Friday and the opening weekend, and in terms of numbers of visitors it had been one of the best openings for 10 years.

A video linked via Mt Hutt’s Facebook page shows snowboarders enjoying the ski area’s opening weekend.

■ CHILD ABUSE REPORT

A blight on NZ society

BY DEREK CHENG Nothing short of a major overhaul of the court system is needed to address family violence – the “sickness of society”, Dame Cath Tizard said yesterday.

The former Governor-General delivered a strongly-worded speech to release the $2 million inquiry called People’s Report, funded by Sir Owen Glenn, in Wellington yesterday.

The report suggested potential changes to the present system, including shifting the burden of proof in domestic violence cases so alleged abusers are considered guilty until proven innocent.

The idea came from overwhelming anecdotal evidence that the court system was “dysfunctional and broken” and hindered the process, rather than helped the victim.

Dame Cath, the inquiry patron, said 60 per cent of all reported violence is family-related.

“It’s pretty clear that there can’t be many families in New Zealand who are not touched by it in some way ... secondhand, if not directly. It is a sickness of our society that thrives in conditions of secrecy.”

She said the report collated 500 people’s real experiences with family violence, including victims, offenders and frontline workers.

“With the unique authority of their personal experience, they tell us what helped, what didn’t, and what actually made things worse.

“Reading some of the accounts was almost unbearable – raw, unvarnished

experience.” Many of those interviewed called for a review of the entire system, “from the part that friends and neighbours play, or don’t play, right up to Government agencies and politicians”.

Sir Owen Glenn, who was not present yesterday because of commitments in Europe, said in a statement that the current system was not working.

“There can’t be a more urgent issue facing our society ... Police respond to one family violence call every seven minutes, each day of the year.”

Families Commissioner Belinda Milnes said the report showed the importance of quality relationship education in schools as a prevention tool.

“And it reinforces the need to change behaviours and say that alcohol abuse and violence are not a normal part of home life.”

Labour leader David Cunliffe called for a radical culture change across government and the community, and for political parties to work together to achieve positive change.

“This issue is far too important to be side-lined by political bickering,” he said.

Green Party MP Jan Logie also called for political parties to work together, including reconsidering alternative trial processes.

“Nothing in the Government’s reform of the Family Court, or its Vulnerable Children’s Strategy, is going to make the system safer.

“In fact in most cases the changes will make the system even more dangerous for victims of abuse.

■ HEALTHY LIVING FOR NEW ZEALANDERS

5+ a day cheaper than takeaways

BY MORGAN TAIT New Zealanders trying to incorporate five servings of fruit and vegetables into their daily food intake do not have to break the bank.

An informal Herald survey found that a five-day meal plan for a family of four, including 5+ a day, was $32.61 cheaper than an unhealthy alternative.

Using an eating plan provided by 5+ A Day, the Herald compared the cost of three daily meals plus snacks and found a meal plan that included five or more servings of fruit and vegetables cost $168.24, while a processed and fast-food diet cost $200.85.

However, budget services said that as many as three-quarters of their clients can’t afford the most basic groceries to feed their families after they pay rent and bills and make debt repayments.

The Herald exercise found while individual processed items may be cheaper – espe-

cially for breakfast, lunch and snacks – it cost far less to build a bigger and more substantial meal from healthier ingredients.

Grocery prices were for full-priced items listed on the countdown.co.nz website and fast-food prices were as per online menus or quotes over the phone.

To make pumpkin soup served with bread rolls and a spinach and beetroot salad was just $12.56, while three large pizzas from Pizza Hut was $15.

In total, it cost $77.02 to make five healthy meals, compared to buying

five takeaway meals for $123.30.

United Fresh New Zealand general manager Paula Dudley said the company’s 5+ A Day campaign had been pushing the message to buy in season to break misconceptions about the price of fruit and vegetables.

“There is a real misconception out there that doing it healthy is expensive.”

She said buying in-season produce was cheaper than trying to cook with imported ingredients. “Part of being able to eat

healthy is doing so cost effectively rather than eating takeaways and junky food which people perceive as cheaper but in the long run it’s actually not,” Ms Dudley said.

New Zealand Federation of Family Budgeting Services chief executive Raewyn Fox said that of the 55,000 families the organisation assisted each year, 75 per cent struggled to buy even the necessities.

“If you’re talking about a difference between being able to afford

healthy eating and a very basic diet, then it is very expensive,” she said.

“If you are really restricted and feeding your family on bread and rice, that does tend to be cheaper.”

It was common for some families to have less than $40 a week for food, Ms Fox said.

“We try to help them get to the stage where they have a realistic amount of money to buy better food.”

She said advice given to those families was to buy in season, visit local markets where produce was cheaper and to try to plan ahead.

Children’s health worth price of good food, parents say Shane and Sarah Gault do not mind spending extra to incorporate an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables into their diets.

It helps that their two sons, Oli, 3, and Charlie, 16 months, are fans of fruit.

Mr Gault said the family did not count their fruit and vegetable portions, but always chose to make healthy meals.

“It just kind of happens that way,” he said. “We do tend to plan our meals around eating healthy rather than explicitly trying to include fruit and vegetables.

“My wife and I, both our parents were fairly conscious so always grew up in homes with healthy food.”

He said opting for healthier options tended to cost more. “Unfortunately processed food is definitely cheaper than goodquality fruit and veges. Buying good-quality

ingredients is not ... cost-effective.”

Fruit was Charlie’s favourite snack, and the family could easily churn through 4kg of bananas alone each week, he said.

“His brother loves grapes ... We buy seasonally but it’s a bit hard to say, ‘No, 16-month-old, you have to go hungry because it’s not in season.’

“If you can get them to eat fruit and it means you have to pay $2 extra per kg, that’s it.”

He believed legislation could improve access to the produce.

“The Government should get a no-GST initiative going because (cost) is a factor.”

TIPS FOR 5+ A DAY ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Buy in season: Seasonal fruit and veges are cheaper and likely to be grown locally.

Plan ahead: Avoid last-minute takeaway stops by knowing what’s at home to cook.

Research: Find easy and cheap recipes to cook – try Countdown’s Feed Four for $15 recipes or www.5aday.co.nz.

Shop around: Try produce stores and growers’ markets for cheaper options.

Put it where you can see it: A bowl of fruit on a table or pre-cut vegetables in the fridge will make healthy choices easier.

OUR VIEW

Volunteer – simple word for a big job Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

P

eople who put their hands up, offering to work for a cause without pay and recognition, are the foundation stones of a community with a heart. And this week – volunteers’ week – we have an opportunity to acknowledge the role those people play in our community. They’re usually the last ones to look for recognition and often do the jobs others don’t want to do or say they have no time to do. They’re the people who see a need and fill it and who take their rewards and satisfaction in a job well done, an unmet need met.

Locally, volunteers’ week started on a high note last night with the annual Trust Power community awards. While these are about groups and organisations rather than individuals, the awards have become the community’s answer to ensuring our volunteers have a chance for a moment in the spotlight.

The awards acknowledge the contribution volunteers make towards the community.

Winners earn cash for their organisation and the overall winner has an opportunity to go forward to the national finals.

Last night Ashburton honoured many of those volunteer groups and the winner on the night was the Mania-o-Roto Scout zone group.

The scout group achieved an almost impossible task. It started with an empty bank account and over a relatively short space of time went out and raised a significant amount of money to build a new, state-ofthe-art hall that can be used by not only scouting groups, but the community too.

What this group has achieved was huge by anyone’s reckoning, but like all volunteers, the scouting team wasn’t daunted by the size of the task ahead of them; rather its members were motivated by a community need.

They did what volunteers do, simply got on with the job.

From those of us who are not volunteers, a huge thank you to those who are. You make our lives so much richer in so many ways.

YOUR VIEW Good news I am pleased to read that the Letters to the Editor will be coming back.

Charming as the photos of the Guardian team are I have missed the ‘points to ponder’ letters that had degenerated into anonymous, (largely) backstabbing missives, making the playing field so unlevel that most just stopped writing in.

The latest changes can only be good.

Also read in the Guardian this morning of the loss of the late Julianne Herridge’s NZ blazer.

Good luck to the family on finding it – perhaps the paper could notify us of their success.

Milking sheep for all they’re worth

A

fter Fieldays one of our staff bumped into Marlborough’s legendary Doug Avery. Doug was in Hamilton as the immediate past Landcorp Communicator of the Year, the 2014 title being deservedly taken out by our own Bruce Wills.

Doug’s resolute positivity is his most outstanding trait.

That and a good sense of humour because his farm was heading for disaster until he discovered lucerne and, if you excuse the farming pun, that saved his bacon. Doug, like our Bruce, is a passionate and proud sheep farmer.

Last year though, Doug’s farm was a only a few kilometres from the epicentre of the Seddon earthquakes. As such it was badly knocked about and I can sympathise on that score because finally, some four years on from the 2010 Darfield earthquake, the builders are moving in as we move out.

Doug told our staff member that nothing good has ever been invented by negative people.

The negative do not innovate, create or inspire. Sure they may be able to rally some people some of the time but that doesn’t last. Doug also said you shouldn’t run from problems.

Sage advice.

We all know meat and fibre has been through the blackberry and we may look at dairy as being “lucky usurpers”, but we forget our industry is an $8

Jeanette Maxwell

billion export one. As a point of comparison, tourism may earn $9.8b, and we Kiwis don’t import much in the way of food but we do love to travel abroad.

With the high kiwi dollar that’s either a downside or upside depending on your point of view.

As I prepare to step down next month as Meat & Fibre chair, Doug Avery’s advice rings true to me. Avoid people who moan unless they offer a solution.

Sheep to me are the perfect livestock and we’ve tended to see it as a dual-use animal farmed for its meat and fibre.

What would you say if sheep became a tri-use animal by adding dairy to its bow?

While the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation puts the global share of sheep milk at just 1.4 per cent, in terms of who we export to or are seeking to develop relationships with, the potential becomes a huge one.

In South East Asia, sheep milk accounts for 3.9 per cent of milk production, in China it is 4.2 per cent while in North Africa and the Middle East, it hits 7.5 per cent. In Iran, the International Dairy Federation

puts sheep milk at number two behind cattle. Dairy sheep play a significantly larger role in these markets than dairy goats.

I suspect that will surprise quite a few people. It surprised me.

I am not suggesting we trade in our cows because milk quantity has a quality all of its own.

Then again, quality generates a financial quantity all of its own too. Sheep milk contains much higher milksolids than cow milk and with a similar taste, commands a premium with consumers because it is easier to digest.

Last year, the United States imported about half of the world’s sheep cheese, some 34,000 tonnes, yet that country only has just over 5000 milking sheep. It has been estimated it would take 600,000 sheep just to meet local demand and highlights the tightrope we’re walking between supply and demand. There’s little surplus milk for export, be it sheep, goat or cattle.

This American potential highlights Federated Farmers bottom line on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Nothing less than the full elimination of agricultural tariffs in the TPP will be acceptable to us. We’ve been bitten before by promises, so New Zealand has only one shot to make the TPP worth it and that’s at the get-go. Failure is not an option because the right TPP will open up Asian

markets building on the free trade beachheads we have in the Middle East.

Earlier this year greater commercial interest in sheep milk saw the International Standards Organisation extend ISO to the measurement of sheep’s milk protein, as well as goats. Locally, Landcorp is eyeing the potential of dairy sheep and when you put that together with the sheep genome’s mapping and a potential TPP, suddenly, you can see the sun.

More so with Southland’s vertically integrated Blue River processes sheep milk into cheese, ice cream and milk powder with that last product overwhelmingly exported.

2004 Ahuwhenua BNZ Maori Excellence in Farming finalist, Waituhi Kuratau, is milking sheep with its Matatoki Farm brand.

Given environmental factors here, dairy sheep could play an important role in our primary future as sheep evolve into a tri-use animal with dairy. This would greatly aid the rejuvenation of our industry and potentially put New Zealand back on the sheep’s back.

With meat slowly getting its act together and a grower-led wool levy in the offing I can say my glass of sheep milk is half-full.

■ UKRAINE

In brief

Gas supplies may be cut Europe faces gas supply disruptions after Ukraine failed to broker an 11th-hour deal with Russia in a feud that has stoked the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War. Ukraine hosted the last-gasp talks hoping to keep an energy shortage from compounding the new pro-Western leaders’ problems as they confront a two-month separatist insurgency threatening the very survival of their ex-Soviet state.

But Russia’s state gas firm Gazprom said it had switched Ukraine to a pre-payment system yesterday, a move that effectively halts all shipments because Kiev has not forwarded any money for future gas deliveries to Moscow.

Gazprom said in a statement issued once a 10am Monday pre-payment deadline had passed that “according to (our) provisional invoice, no payments for June were received.”

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said Moscow would decide its next step after Gazprom chief Alexei Miller briefs President Vladimir Putin and the government about the negotiations later yesterday.

Gazprom added it had notified Europe of possible gas disruption and has lodged a $US4.5 billion lawsuit against Ukraine with an arbitration court in Stockholm.

Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan said Kiev would now try to secure greater gas deliveries from its western European neighbours to make up for the lost Russian supplies.

The third “gas war” between Russia and Ukraine since 2006 flared when Moscow nearly doubled its rates in the wake of

Spanish police have arrested eight people in Madrid in pre-dawn raids against a jihadist recruit-ment network led by a former Guantanamo Bay inmate, the government says. The cell found and dispatched recruits for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants based in Syria and Iraq, Spain’s interior ministry said in a statement yesterday. “It should be highlighted that the leader of this cell lived in Spain after passing through Guantanamo, having been arrested in Afghanistan in 2001,” it said, without providing further details.

The latest strike by Spanish security forces is the third significant raid on jihadist recruitment cells in as many months.

a deadly winter uprising that pulled Kiev out of the Kremlin’s historic orbit for the first time.

Ukraine receives half its gas from Russia and transports 15 per cent of the fuel consumed in Europe, prompting EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger to urgently step in and try to break up the feud.

Kiev said it was ready to make a $US1.95 billion payment demanded by Moscow if Russia agreed to cut its ongoing rate to $US326 from $US485.50 for 1000 cubic metres of gas.

But Putin had insisted that $US385 per 1000 cubic metres was his final offer.

The European Commission said Oettinger had offered a compromise that would see Kiev pay $US1 billion and the rest of the debt in instalments through to the end of the year.

Oettinger also proposed Ukraine accept the $US385 figure demanded by Putin in the winter and see its rate drop to $US300 “or a few dollars more” during summer months.

“The Ukrainian side was ready to accept this, but for the moment the Russian partners were not,” the European Commission said in a statement.

The gas talks were further clouded by a diplomatic row that exploded after Ukraine’s

acting foreign minister called Putin “a prick” while trying to restrain protesters who attacked Moscow’s embassy compound in Kiev on Saturday.

Nationalists tore down the embassy’s Russian tricolour while others smashed its windows and overturned diplomats’ cars. The protest followed the deaths of 49 servicemen on Saturday when pro-Kremlin rebels downed their military transport plane with weapons Kiev believes were supplied by Moscow.

Acting Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsya was filmed telling protesters “Putin is a prick” in a bid to calm the seething crowd.

Paedophile organised victim’s funeral A paedophile Marist brother attended and probably organised the funeral of a young man he had molested as a boy, an inquiry has been told.

Kidnapping condemned

Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was told yesterday Sutton offered to arrange the funeral of the boy, referred to as ADO, who committed suicide in 1989.

The former brother was later confronted by the father of ADO and confessed he had molested him.

Sutton who had been moved from Queensland to schools in NSW was living at the brothers’ house on the grounds of St Joseph’s College at Hunters Hill in Sydney in 1989.

He was visited there by ADO’s father, accompanied by John Holdsworth, superior of the Marist community which ran the primary and secondary schools in North Queensland.

ADO’s father went to Br Holdsworth after ADO’s brother told the family he had been abused by Sutton.

“I was quite shocked because Sutton had offered to arrange the funeral,” Br Holdsworth told the commission.

He knew Sutton was friendly with the family and had been at

their home and he understood he had attended the funeral and “probably organised it”.

He was pressed by counsel assisting the commission, Simeon Beckett, if he knew that what Sutton had confessed to was a criminal offence.

“I can’t give a specific answer as to why at the time I did not take that view,” Br Holdsworth said.

He later said that it did not occur to him to go to police because it was not in his realm.

Five people have been killed and another three are missing after a fire swept through an oil refinery in Siberia as a result of a gas explosion, Russian investigators say. “As a result of the fire five people were killed, another seven were hospitalised with injuries,” the investigative committee said in a statement yesterday. “The fate of three people is currently unknown.” The fire at the Achinsk refinery in the Krasnoyarsk region broke out on Sunday as a result of the gas explosion.

Pencil theory ridiculed A Chinese government official who blamed lead poisoning in more than 300 children on the chewing of school pencils has been harshly criticised in state-run media and ridiculed online. Lead levels as high as three times national standards were found in the blood of children in a village in the central province of Hunan, with the contamination blamed on pollution from a local chemical plant, the official news agency Xinhua said yesterday. But Su Genlin, the chief of Dapu township, told state broadcaster CCTV that “kids use pencils in school, and chewing pencils could also cause the excessive levels.”

Religious clashes Violence between Buddhists and Muslims in southern Sri Lanka has left three people dead and at least another 78 seriously injured, the justice minister says. Police have imposed a curfew after rampaging Buddhist mobs late on Sunday razed a number of Muslim-owned homes and businesses in the popular tourist town of Alutgama, around 60km south of the capital Colombo. Local Muslims have accused the police of failing to protect them when followers of the extremist Buddhist Force - better known as BBS - started setting fire to businesses.

“The plan contains provision for more guidance for airport owners and councils on managing environmental effects at aerodromes,” the assessment

by Castalia Strategic Advisors found.

Greater reliance on satellite technology increased risk in the event of a failure and Castalia said the plan provided for contingency systems for both navigation and surveillance to ensure that all aircraft could return to the ground safely and service could be maintained on the main trunk routes.

The firm has estimated it would cost $37 million to implement the plan although airlines and other operators might have to spend more to ensure their equipment was compatible with the modernised system.

It also warned that with significant changes in technology there was an increased risk of human error during the transition phase.

Castalia said there had been a big focus on training and education to help pilots and engineers make the transition.

Lower confidence was concentrated in smaller cities and rural areas.

The main centres, especially Auckland and Christchurch, have experienced the strongest house price gains while those more immediately exposed to the rural economy may have taken more account of a 26 per cent drop in dairy export prices since February.

The Real Estate Institute reported a further deceleration in house price inflation, its stratified housing price index up 6.5 per cent nationwide in the year to May, compared with 8.5 per cent in April.

Householders feeling optimistic

remains cautiously optimistic overall, with slightly fewer saying their finances had improved [a net 2.1 per cent, down from 2.7 per cent] but slightly more expecting them to get better over the coming year [a net 11.5 per cent, up from 10.6 per cent last time],” he said.

A net 31.5 per cent said it was a good time to buy a major household item, up from 28.3 per cent in March and above the historical average.

More said they would spend a $10,000 cash windfall on a holiday, while the proportion who said they would save it or use it to pay down debt is at a 15-year low.

On the other hand the net balance saying they had increased their spending on entertainment and eating out fell from a six-year high in March back to where it was last September.

Another substantial stock is set to list on the NZX after rental company Hirepool yesterday registered its prospectus for an initial public offer aimed at raising up to $262 million to allow a capital raising and partial sale of shares by its existing owners. Post-float, Hirepool will have an indicative market capitalisation of between $281 million and $339 million, according to the offer documents. At the top end of that range, Hirepool as a listed entity would be of similar size to NZOG, which today had a market capitalisation of $326m. - APNZ

■ CONSUMER CONFIDENCE HIGH

A sluggish housing market, falling dairy prices and rising interest rates have had little impact yet on consumer confidence, which remains at levels last seen during the mid-2000s boom, the Westpac McDermott Miller survey has found.

The quarterly survey’s index eased a marginal half a point to 121.2 from March levels, which was its highest since March 2005. Any level above 100 indicates more optimists than pessimists.

“While consumers’ economic optimism has come off the boil - especially in smaller centres and rural areas, where the drop in dairy prices will have been particularly salient - overall consumer confidence remains extremely high, and the survey gives little sense that households’ spending appetites have cooled,” said Westpac economist Felix Delbruck.

A net 30.8 per cent expect good economic times over the year ahead, down on 35 per cent in March but still the second highest reading in 10 years.

“Whatever people are thinking about the wider economy has not flowed through to sentiment about their own finances, which is ultimately more relevant to the spending decisions they make,” Delbruck said.

New air traffic management systems are planned for New Zealand, replacing decades-old technology, promising to cut flight times and save the aviation industry up to $2 billion.

While more direct routes will mean more noise on new flight paths, quieter planes could mean noise is cut overall.

The National Airspace and Air Navigation Plan, launched last night by Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee, said that during the next two decades the aviation sector could save nearly $1.98 billion through fuel savings, lower aircraft operating costs and lower capital spending.

The 10-year New Southern Sky plan will move the aviation system away from post-World War II radar to extensive satel-

lite tracking, although groundbased radar would not be removed completely because of concern about relying too much on new technology.

Advanced transponders will be required for all aircraft in controlled airspace within eight years.

The Civil Aviation Authority is leading the project and said increased use of satellite tracking would not necessarily find aircraft in an emergency such as in the case of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

However, the CAA and international authorities were reviewing tracking systems and changes could be implemented.

A risk assessment of the plan found that while the overall environmental impact of changing aircraft routes was positive because of shorter flight paths, there could be resource man-

Online accounting software firm Xero is “well on track” to hit its long-term performance targets, says chief executive Rod Drury, with it hitting the $100 million annualised revenue mark for the first time this month. Drury said the revenue was a result of increased focus on global markets such as Australia and Britain, where Xero’s customer base had been growing steadily. “What’s to stop us becoming a billion-dollar company eventually?” Drury quipped.

Calving workshops to help take

By Michelle Nelson michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dairy farmers can help staff prepare for the calving season by registering for the DairyNZ StockSense workshop to be held in Mid Canterbury on July 1.

The events, which are running nationwide, will be split into two workshops – one catering for junior staff and the other for senior staff – with each workshop focusing on developing skills to help the calving season go well and reduce stress.

Humane slaughter on-farm and udder health will be the focus of the senior level workshop.

DairyNZ’s animal husbandry and welfare team manager, Chris Leach, says the humane slaughter topic is particularly timely due to the expected change in the animal welfare code and the implications for farmers.

The senior workshop will also focus on actions owners and managers can take to reduce stress for themselves and their teams, to help calving go smoothly.

The junior ‘get ready for calving’ workshop provides hands-on training for junior or new staff.

“Participants will learn to identify the signs of calving, stages of labour, normal and abnormal calf presentation and when to call for help,” Mr Leach said.

By the end of the session participants will know how to handle newborns safely, the importance of feeding colostrum and how and why to record calvings.

The event will run from 11am3pm.

Participant numbers are limited and farmers must register online at dairynz.co.nz/stocksense or phone 0800 4 DAIRYNZ (0800 4 3247969).

The venue will be notified on registration.

A free barbecue lunch will be provided.

Sheep genome breakthrough ‘gives us confidence in the future’

By Michelle Nelson michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

New Zealand researchers have helped map the sheep genome, and that is good news for farmers, a Mid Canterbury industry spokesperson says.

Scientists hope to harness genetics to grow more meat, wool and even milk from the country’s sheep flock.

AgResearch’s internationally-led mapping project is not just an unprecedented opportunity for New Zealand, but vindicates growers backing the creation of Beef+Lamb New Zealand Genetics, Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre chairperson Jeanette Maxwell said.

With the loss of lowland

pasture, predominately to dairying in Canterbury, Mrs Maxwell said the focus needs to be on sheep bred to thrive on hill and high country farms.

“Mapping the sheep genome is a crucial breakthrough,” she said.

“We back the sheep industry to grow and genetic mapping will be of immense benefit to wool should farmers approve a proposed levy vote later in the year.

“We think it was said best at the KPMG Agribusiness Leader’s Breakfast at Fieldays, one megatrend could be beef, lamb and wool as high-value luxury consumer goods.

“We are taking about an $8 billion export being worth

much, much more. We are, for instance, only scratching the surface with dairy sheep.”

While the planned changes at AgResearch’s Invermay facitility had caused concern, the investment will fundamentally change how sheep genomic research is undertaken.

“Yet I was struck by just how international this breakthrough was. While led by the great team at Invermay it was only possible thanks to the input of 73 authors at 26 institutions in eight countries,” Mrs Maxwell said.

“With Beef+Lamb New Zealand Genetics creation backed by growers this breakthrough gives us confidence in the future.”

Record result for dairy indus Canterbury dairy farmers have topped the polls with 68 per cent turning out to vote in the recent dairy industry milksolids levy referendum.

Across the board a record number of dairy farmers, including sharemilkers voted, and support-

ed continuing investment in the annual milksolids levy to fund ongoing research and development, environmental work and other industry initiatives.

Interim voting results from Electionz.com, the company that ran the vote on behalf of indus-

try body DairyNZ, showed 60 per cent of 14,436 eligible farmers voted and 78 per cent voted in favour of continuing the levy.

Weighted by milksolids, the results lift to 82 per cent for voting yes to the levy, and 68 per cent overall voter turn out – equal to

the polling percentage in Canterbury. The turn-out was also well above the average for industryspecific levy referendums, which sits around 40 per cent, according to Electionz.

Farmers currently pay a levy of 3.6c/kilogram of milksolids

Overseas lamb returns have been steady in recent weeks.

NZ suppliers are now competing with increased UK production as the new season lamb kill gears up in the Europe.

Most NZ processors are now down to winter production levels and are focused on maximising returns from the more lucrative chilled market in the UK and Europe. Demand for leg cuts remains firm particularly from the UK and European markets. Reports suggest exporters are pleased with prices achieved on chilled leg items, with frozen leg prices also solid on the back of reduced supplies.

BEEF

The unseasonably strong run in US beef markets has continued over the past week, with prices rising across the board. Supplies of imported beef on-shore in the US are very tight and spot prices have climbed higher. Importers don’t appear to have been carrying much inventory, resulting in product becoming very short when Memorial Day demand was better than expected.

Although beef shipped now won’t arrive in the US until August, much too late for Independence Day, the stronger spot market has driven up prices on offer to NZ exporters. Imported 90CL cow returns have now risen by 5% in just the past two weeks, at a time of year when prices are typically steadily declining.

“It’s a fantastic result and all credit goes to those who have voted and taken a proactive stance on driving our industry forward.

It’s a strong mandate on all the indicators. That’s what we want-

Domestic grain markets are now slowing down for winter, as is typical of this time of year. Values are still holding though, which is mainly a reflection of the lack of grain in storage. As the country enters spring, it will be with a significantly lower amount of unsold grain than normal on hand. This is why with a Canterbury spot market at $430/t for feed wheat and barley there is reluctance from growers to sign up to the $400-$410/t contracts for the 2015 harvest.

stry levy vote ed from our farmers – and that’s what they have delivered,” DairyNZ chairman John Luxton said.

DairyNZ chief executive Tim Mackle said the sharemilkers vote was up 13 per cent on the previous elec-

tion. “That lift combined with more farm owners voting really made a difference,” he said.

“While this is a vote of confidence, we know we have to a lot of work ahead of us.

“Farmers have given us some clear messages during this campaign about what we need to achieve in the next six years.

“We have to meet a number of key strategic targets including delivering farm systems research to help reduce our environmental footprint by 30 per cent, while increasing profits.”

“Dairy farmers aim to keep the New Zealand dairy industry internationally competitive and to continue to reduce its environmental impact.”

Dr Mackle says final results will be determined once the total milksolids produced for the 2013/14 season is known – hopefully by the end of the month.

“I expect some change but nothing significant.

We’re still waiting for those final figures from the dairy companies,” he said.

The table pictured left shows how support for the dairy milksolids levy has grown.

Kindergarten – a garden for children

By Kathleen Stringer

I

’m not a clucky person as a rule, but this photo did appeal to me. They all look frightfully clean (which is always a bonus with children) and even a little shy. I’m sure they wouldn’t be the kind who scream and throw tantrums because you gave them last year’s model of cellphone or a plain biscuit instead of a chocolate one.

It’s also pleasing to see the girls and boys dressed as such, no unisex jeans, or age inappropriate bling here. It’s almost cute.

One thing that does seem a little odd is how old the children look, for this is the Ashburton Kindergarten from 1935. As children did not have to start school until six, maybe this is the leaving class of fiveyear-olds.

Kindergartens are a relatively

new phenomena, being established in Germany in 1810. The word means children’s garden.

It was thought that children should be tended like flowers in a garden during their often traumatic transition between home and the outside world.

The term was removed for some time during World War One, but has continued to apply to all early educational facilities, as opposed to play or preschool.

The Canterbury teachers’ train-

ing college began a kindergarten department in 1911, but the first reference I can locate to kindergartens in Ashburton is 1932 when an establishment was set up in St Stephen’s hall.

This was the same location for the Ngaroma Girls’ School and Kindergarten, which opened in 1936.

It is certainly a subject that we need to know more about.

We have limited records concerning the various kindergar-

tens, although we have mention of activities associated with Allenton, East (Hampstead), Aubrey Mason (Tinwald) and Thomas Street, but this is the only image with children.

Luckily, not only does the image have visual appeal, it is also named.

If anyone can tell us more about this, or other early kindergartens in the area, we would be most interested to hear.

Local manufacture adds significance

T

his tailored worsted jacket is part of a costume for riding a bicycle.

Cycling was an important component in women’s new-found independence. They could travel further on cycles than on foot and do so without annoying chaperones. Skirts became shorter and less full, and drawers (tight, crutchless undergarments) were replaced by voluminous bloomers.

Riding habits had their origin in military uniforms, hence the masculine cut. It certainly is a fine example

of tailoring and Victorian costume which any museum would be pleased to have.

However, what makes it significant is that it was made here in Ashburton. Originally established in 1880 by Alexander Craighead, this tailoring

business was situated first in Tancred Street and from 1893 (when it was Craighead and Berryman) East Street. Hugh and Edwin Craighead were business partners from 1882 until 1892, when Edwin sold out to his brother W. Bruce.

In brief

A taste of international rugby

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Injury robbed him of international rugby last year, but Tim Perry has avoided a similar fate to face the English with the Crusaders at Christchurch’s AMI Stadium tonight.

An ankle strain kept the former Mid Canterbury prop from facing the French in the Blues mid-week match last season, while a nagging achilles injury hung over his chances of running out against the English.

But with rest and rehab, Perry was named to start in the mid-week international tour match – and is in line to get a fair chunk of game time.

“It’s not too bad but easily good enough to go,” Perry said.

“It will be a tough game but I’m bloody excited for the challenge.”

Perry joins Corey Flynn and Nepo Laulala in the front row. Prop Joe Moody has been named in the reserves for his return to first class rugby since he broke his leg in last year’s ITM Cup final.

Joel Everson will make his Crusaders debut at lock alongside Jimmy Tupou, with cover from potential debutant lock Scott Barrett, the younger brother of All Black first five Beauden Barrett, off the bench.

Flanker Matt Todd has been released by the All Blacks to join the team and will take a place in the reserves to provide cover for Whitelock brothers George and Luke - and Jordan Taufua in the loose forwards.

With Conrad Smith suffering a broken thumb Ryan Crotty remains with the All Blacks ahead of the third test in Hamilton on Saturday.

Roulston out of Games Ashburton cyclist Hayden Roulston has withdrawn from the Commonwealth Games after suffering an injury. Roulston will return to Christchurch after being forced to abandon on stage five of the prestigious Criterium du Dauphine in France last week.

He has suffered from a sore right foot and then developed an achilles injury in his left foot as a result of over-compensation.

The Trek Factory Racing rider said that while he is hopeful of recovering from the injury in the next few weeks, his lack of competitive racing would leave him ill-equipped to be fully competitive in Glasgow. - APNZ

Fifth crown for Spurs The San Antonio Spurs defeated Miami 104-87 yesterday to give them a 4-1 series victory and the team’s fifth championship since 1999. Despite a ferocious home crowd, the Spurs started poorly with the Heat scoring the first eight points and finishing the first quarter leading 29-22. The Heat cooled off in the second quarter and the Spurs ran away with the game. A year ago when the Heat beat the Spurs in an epic seven game series.

Kookaburras the champs In good company: Tim Perry steps out on to AMI Stadium with George Whitelock as the Crusaders prepare for their confrontation with the England rugby side tonight.

Willi Heinz starts at halfback with Andy Ellis ready to add his valuable international experience from off the bench.

Tyler Bleyendaal will start at first five and Tom Taylor at fullback.

Kieron Fonotia has recovered from his hamstring strain to join Rey Lee-Lo in the midfield with Nafi Tuitavake and Johnny McNicholl on the wings.

Leicester lock Ed Slater will captain an England side containing 12 capped internationals - including ex-Melbourne Rebels’ playmaker Danny Cipriani.

Christchurch-born former Crusader, Michael Paterson, has been named in the reserves with the match an opportunity for the fringe squad members to push for a place in the third test.

Australia have emphatically stamped themselves as the best hockey team on the planet, claiming back-to-back World Cups with a 6-1 demolition of the Netherlands. The win, which five-time world-player-of-the-year Jamie Dwyer described as better than their 2010 title, capped off a superb tournament in which Australia had utterly outclassed every opponent they encountered. “For me this is better (than 2010). To win a World Cup 6-1 is incredible. It’s unheard of,” Dwyer said.

Hayne key for NSW Jarryd Hayne’s leadership behind the scenes has emerged as important an ingredient as his stunning on-field form in NSW’s quest to finally break Queensland’s unprecedented dominance of State of Origin. Hayne looms as the Blues’ key figure in their quest to wrap up the interstate trophy in State of Origin II at ANZ Stadium tomorrow night. But NSW skipper Paul Gallen says it is Hayne’s input in the NSW set-up away from the bright lights and millions of TV viewers that could be the difference between winning and losing.

Folau hot property Wallabies superstar Israel Folau admits he misses State of Origin and insists he has no idea what he will do with his career after next year’s Rugby World Cup. Folau will become the hottest property across two codes ahead of coming off contract in 2015, with NRL clubs and cashed-up foreign rugby clubs to provide competition as the Australian Rugby Union attempts to retain its biggest drawcard. The fullback made it clear yesterday he’s keeping all options open. Yesterday Folau acknowledged he missed playing rugby league’s State of Origin for Queensland, an arena where he starred as a youngster.

In brief Franjic curses luck Distraught Socceroo Ivan Franjic says there’s no explanation for the injury that sent his World Cup from boom to bust. Franjic will soon fly out of Brazil, cursing his luck after suffering a torn hamstring in Australia’s 1-3 loss to Chile. “There’s just no explanation for it,” Franjic told reporters. “I’m just devastated, to be completely honest.” Franjic tore his left hamstring when jumping to contest a header against Chile in Australia’s tournament opener in Cuiaba on Friday.

Japan ‘still believe’ Goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima says Japan still believe in themselves as they prepare for a must-win game to keep their World Cup hopes alive after defeat in their opening match. Coach Alberto Zaccheroni admitted he could be forced into a radical rethink after a 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast, during which the Asian champions took the lead only to see the Africans hit back with two goals. The veteran Italian coach had some strong words, saying he expected more from his players, who were out-fought in Recife by Ivory Coast, inspired by substitute Didier Drogba. Japan next face Greece in Natal on Friday before tackling Colombia in Cuiaba.

Own goals all the rage Sead Kolasinac’s unfortunate deflection into his own net in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s game against Argentina was the third own goal of the 2014 World Cup, one more than in the entire 2010 tournament. Brazil’s Marcelo, Costa Rica goalkeeper Noel Valladares and Kolasinac have found their own net in 11 games played so far in Brazil. In the 64 matches at South Africa 2010, only Denmark’s Daniel Agger and Park Chu Young of South Africa found their own net. The World Cup own goal record stands at six, from France 1998.

Messi fires for Argentina

BY TOM WILLIAMS

“The second goal secured the three points and was special for me for the game I was having,” said Messi, who failed to score at the 2010 World Cup. With tournament debutants Bosnia likely to be Argentina’s strongest rivals for group supremacy, Alejandro Sabella’s side are firmly on course to reach the last 16 ahead of further games against Iran and Nigeria.

“Perhaps we made an error or two, and I’m sure I got one or two things wrong, but we should cherish these three points because the Bosnians were no pushovers,” said Sabella.

Victory was raucously celebrated by the swathes of blue and white-clad fans who had swept into Rio and turned the Maracana into an outpost of Buenos Aires, but it was far from straightforward.

With Higuain still troubled by an ankle injury, Sabella elected to deploy a 5-3-2 formation that paired Messi with Sergio Aguero in attack.

It was a departure from the 4-3-3 system used in qualifying, when Argentina topped the South American standings, but it did not stop Messi from mak-

Lionel Messi scored a trademark individual goal as Argentina opened their World Cup campaign with a narrow 2-1 win over Bosnia-Hercegovina at Rio de Janeiro’s renovated Maracana.

The Barcelona superstar created the third-minute own goal

by Sead Kolasinac with which Argentina went ahead, but it took a mid-match tactical shift for him to really start influencing yesterday’s proceedings.

Gonzalo Higuain’s half-time introduction afforded Messi more space and in the 65th minute the four-time Ballon d’Orwinner scored a goal befitting the iconic 78,800-seater stadium, which will host the final.

After collecting the ball just inside Bosnia’s half, Messi burst forward and exchanged passes with Higuain before darting past a pair of defenders and slamming home a shot via the base of the left-hand post from 20 yards.

It was only the second World Cup goal of the 26-year-old’s career and substitute Vedad Ibisevic’s late reply for Bosnia meant that it proved decisive.

Lionel Messi: Only his second World Cup goal ever

ing an early impression.

A free-kick wide on the left gave the Argentina captain a chance to bend a cross into the box and although Marcos Rojo made only glancing contact, the ball cannoned into the net off the unfortunate Kolasinac.

Clocked at two minutes and eight seconds, it was the quickest own goal in World Cup history.

Having overcome the shock of conceding such an early goal, Bosnia found they were able to hold Argentina at arm’s length with relative ease, and they grew bolder in attack.

Deadlock in local derby

Technology-assisted win France beat 10-man Honduras 3-0 in a bruising World Cup clash where goal-line technology awarded the first international goal in history. Three minutes into the second period, the Germanmanufactured GoalControl system was called into action when a volley from Karim Benzema, who ended the night with two goals, came back off the post. The ball bounced back into the area before hitting Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares. He then tried to scoop the ball to safety, but Brazilian referee Sandro Ricci awarded the goal, classed as an own-goal, after consulting the instant technology.

Romero was solicited twice before half-time, saving bravely from Izet Hajrovic after a lofted pass by Zvjezdan Misimovic and then plunging to his left to repel a header from Senad Lulic.

Sabella took decisive action at half-time, sending on Higuain and Fernando Gago for Maxi Rodriguez and Hugo Campanaro and reverting to the tried and tested 4-3-3.

Messi was beginning to see more of the ball, and he twice teed up Aguero, who blazed wildly over before testing Asmir Begovic with a side-foot shot.

A ballooned free-kick suggested that Messi was still feeling his way into the tournament, but moments later he announced his arrival in style with Argentina’s second goal his first World Cup goal since 2006. Ibisevic reduced the arrears with five minutes to play, squeezing a shot between Romero’s legs and over the line, but Argentina managed to see the game out.

“We had the misfortune to score an own goal,” said Bosnia coach Safet Susic. “When you play Argentina, you have to play well and have luck. We still have two games to go.” - AFP

Eastern struck first through Stan Pokipoki before Methven equalised from the penalty spot through Englishman James McDonald, but neither side could break the deadlock.

The Mid Canterbury Masters suffered a third straight defeat, beaten 2-4 at home by Waimak Wanderers.

All of the lower Mainland grades were postponed due to Christchurch City Council ground closures.

On Sunday the Mid Canterbury Women continued on their winning ways with a 3-0 away win over Halswell United to remain top of the women’s division two table.

Serge Aurier, 21, was the star of the game, providing the key passes for both goals but it was Drogba with his unflinching, muscular presence which caused panic amongst the Japanese.

Two minutes after his arrival, Wilfried Bony pulled the Africans level and another two minutes on from that, Gervinho grabbed the winner.

“I am a young coach, and I

know that I don’t have experience. But with the qualities that these players possess, we have to look at potential not age,” said Lamouchi.

“Of course, the entry of Didier Drogba had been planned. A champion like him is always useful be it from the kick-off or not.

“His appearance changed the game. He brought in two or three players and the team created favourable situations.”

Lamouchi insisted he will not be swayed by public pressure to

favour the likes of Drogba or even Yaya Toure who captained the side having shaken off a hamstring injury.

“I am the coach of the Ivory Coast, not the coach of Yaya or Didier. I am fortunate to have these players,” he said.

“Didier was frustrated but when you see his joy at the goals scored and his input after coming on, nobody can doubt what a great champion he is.

“With competitors like these two, it’s much easier.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) The danger of misunderstandings and mixed messages becomes higher today, as does the opportunity to give the past a voice.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) At an important point in your professional year the money gods have one eye on the road ahead and another on the rear view mirror.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) You’re able to take a more serious look at the choices, decisions and plans you’re making for the future and the journey ahead.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With a sense of what your new solar year will bring, you have a better sense of what to leave in the past and what to take with you into the future.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) For now the stars not only bring an especially good day for friendship and relationship building, but for making up for lost time.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With your instincts especially sharp, you’ll be in tune to both the new opportunities and the second chances the doors are now open to.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With Jupiter now in his final month in your career sector and the Sun returning in 4 days’ time, it’s time to bring things home.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Mercury returns to shift your focus to the past, which is likely to call for a rethink, a change of mind or extra time spent back at the drawing board.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) As Mercury retrogrades back out of your financial sector and back into your relationship sector today this will have benefits on both fronts.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) All of a sudden you not only have income, work and career options on the same table, but a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) As Mercury returns to a more playful part of your chart, this will also bring home the importance of having the right balance between work and play.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) With some very fun and playful opportunities ahead, beyond that you have some major and life changing developments on the professional front.

Injury toll costly for College

An injury-ravaged Ashburton College put up a brave fight against St Bede’s, but fell to a 5-29 loss in the Crusaders Secondary Schools’ rugby competition at the Allenton Rugby Club on Saturday.

College were right in the contest until the final quarter of the match when the St Bede’s

boys ran away with the game.

“We had a real chance at an upset, but we are hampered by the lack of depth at the moment with our injury situation,” coach Ian Patterson said.

College came out firing from the opening kick-off to apply plenty of pressure on St Bede’s, and they were rewarded when a carefully placed chip kick was chased down by Connor Wilson to go ahead 5-0.

St Bede’s hit straight back from the resumption with a converted try to take the lead, and added a penalty for a 10-5 lead at halftime.

College continued to battle hard, but the lack of squad depth due to injury took its toll which wasn’t helped when prop Toafa Touli suffered a shoulder injury resulting in a further shuffle in the forward pack.

“We had to go to uncontest-

ed scrums and that opened the game up and they were able to cut through us a bit at the end.”

In the last fifteen minutes St Bede’s were able to run away with a 22-point win.

This week College are away to Christ’s College, which had the bye in round eight, and expect to have a number of players return from the casualty ward, including Nete Caucau and Cameron McLeod.

Elsewhere Christchurch Boys’ High School remained unbeaten after a 23-22 win over Nelson College in the top of the table clash in Nelson.

Marlborough outclassed Rangiora 43-3, while St Andrews had a convincing 22-7 win over Lincoln.

Roncalli edged out Waimea 11-6, Shirley outscored St Thomas 22-0 and Burnside beat Timaru Boys’ 12-7.
